the color scheme was brown and it still is brown.

there was no change to my iDrive's appearance. I had originally complained of a jerky transmission and when i received the update for my transmission, all other systems were updated as well.Ģ. when the software update is applied, it changes all the software components of the vehicle to the most up to date version. BMW software updates apply to the entire car's software not a particular system individually ie.

Of course, you will not be able to use it outside the car.Ok i took my 08 E70 4.8i in today and had the software updated and here's what I learned.ġ.

BT is a battery hog, and could drain your phone unnecessarily. With inbuilt battery ones, they will keep playing as long as you are in range or you manually switch it off. The reason : When you switch off your car, the streaming automatically stops when BT is disconnected. I would recommend you go with a BT A2DP receiver without a built in battery. I'll probably get this very shortly (next couple weeks after some more research) and post a review. And the one above is also powered by USB, so if you have the USB input in the console, you can just plug it in and have it charged at all times. Now the CIC nav with combox does way more, but if you're interested in just streaming music to your stereo without a cord, this may be your ticket. If you're really only interested in streaming music from your phone to car stereo so you can cut the cord, then a bluetooth adapter like this one that plugs into your existing AUX IN should work. I have an 07 which has the old CCC navigation system, I would need to spend over $2000 just to upgrade to the new CIC and combox, and that's just parts.

Interestingly I was just looking into this today.
